I was recommended this show by a number of people and have just spent one and a half hours trying to find a way to watch it with subtitles as I'm partially deaf. I have watched ten minutes of adverts probably about twenty times in the belief that turning subtitles to "on" would mean that subtitles would appear. Unfortunately this is clearly a joke on any viewer who has a hearing problem. Personally I didn't find it particularly funny. I have now seen the opening scene of the show about twenty times which kind of puts me off watching it at all. Pity really as I've been told it's really good. I assume you realise that roughly 25% of your viewers require subtitles to watch your shows but maybe that doesn't matter to you. Thanks. A whole evening ruined. Hope you get a good laugh.

I personally found this book fascinating. I was involved with a family who believed themselves to be superior and were willing to lie for each other without blinking an eye. Hurting other people and treating them as inferior was a hobby that was approved of meanwhile portraying themselves as compassionate and caring to the outside world. The resonance of an educated middle class family who is toxic to the core struck me as an interesting subject and one completely taboo in our society. An aura of respectability is all that's needed for them to thrive and dominate at the expense of anyone they see as a threat to their poisonous secret. Well written and extremely clever. The dinner was lovely.

The rewriting of history is fun. Assuming you never actually knew anything about Vivien Leigh you could perhaps get through this but to make out that had a black actress been chosen to lead a Hollywood film history would have lead to a different outcome in racism in America or that minorities were supportive of coloured persons in the US is absurd. Anyone who lived through these times and saw the evil that was in power especially in the movie industry would die laughing. Get a grip. Don't be above yourselves.
